I guess it doesn't really affect me but I only herd about ddr in like 2002 and didn't really get into it till late last year... anyway are there still comps going on in japan? Are new mixes still coming out? Or is DDR pretty much done over there? And if it is when did it sorta reach its peak?

This has been discussed before, but ddr is dying in japan. Other bemani games are becoming more popular.

That's why i switched to piu which has a future. Plus I love to freestyle...weeeee!

There have been no announcements of a new DDR mix in Japan. DDR Extreme for JPS2 just came out, and I think they either released or will release a "Party Mix" or something. I can't remember the exact name. Anyways, no arcade mix has been announced. Some think that it signals the end of DDR in Japan, while others say that they are merely taking a break and will bring it back out with some new innovations.

A general rundown... IIDX is the greatest game next to Pop'n... another good game

Well..I see most of you don't like piu. But I do. I mean plus it's REALLY big in Korea. That's why I believe it has a future..I play beatmania sometimes. But it has killed ddr..damn you bm..

But hopefully konami will make more ddr mixes, who knows.

I think Pump has more of a future than DDR with Premire 3 coming out last year, then Prex 3 and then a new mix coming out in a few months (this month?)
